It’s the end of the school year, and I have no students today. I am spending the day doing last minute grading, cleaning out my cupboards, and taking down pictures and student work. It is sad seeing the year come to an end, reflecting back on the fun moments in the classroom, the “YES! They did it!” moments. Yet, in some sort of delusional fantasy that I have, in just ten short days I can lounge around the house, float lazily in the pool, and read at my leisure. Like I said, delusional fantasy.
Ha! Maybe if I didn’t have kids! Instead I’ll be waking at roughly the same time I do now, watching Noggin and Nick in the morning (gotta love The Upside Down Show!), arguing about the importance of not eating freezy pops for breakfast, going outside and playing about twelve games of Around The World and Pig, and be completely wiped out and tired by 10 AM. The only thing that’s somewhat the same from my fantasy summer compared to my reality is floating lazily in pool. I will float lazily, but that’s only because I’ll have this big ol’ pregnant belly in my way.
Oh and one more thing. I will be spending my days with two of the best kids EVER. Ten more days!

Wait wait wait. Back up. Are you implying that I shouldn’t be eating freezy pops for breakfast? What about lunch?
Mike,
I’ve determined that 10AM is appropriate freezy pop time. If breakfast is consumed at 8, and adequate physical activity has taken place, 10 is not too early to begin the consumption of sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Enjoy!
